PlayNow Boosts Saskatchewan Offering With Live Casino Titles

PlayNow.com, the online casino operated by the British Columbia Lottery Corporation, has announced that its offering for players in Saskatchewan has improved with the addition of live dealer games.

The online casino launched in Saskatchewan in November 2022 as the British Columbia Lottery Corporation entered a partnership with the Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority (SIGA), and the Saskatchewan Gaming Corporation (SaskGaming). That made PlayNow.com the only legal iGaming website in Saskatchewan, and it was already active in British Columbia and Manitoba.

At first PlayNow.com offered more than 400 online casino games and sports betting products to players in Saskatchewan, and now the offering was expanded with the addition of live dealer games provided by Evolution, the world’s leading suppliers of live casino content.

The Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority released a statement in which it announced that 17 different live casino titles were added to the offering, including Auto Roulette, Blackjack, Baccarat, Baccarat eSqueeze, Dream Wheeler, Infinite Blackjack, Lightning Auto Roulette and Ultimate Texas Hold ‘Em.

Speaking about the new product addition to PlayNow.com in Saskatchewan, Zane Hansen, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority, declared himself pleased of being able to complement the company’s offering with live dealer games.

Back in November, when the website first launched in the province, Susan Flett, the President and Chief Executive Officer of SaskGaming, described it as “a historic day” for casino gaming in Saskatchewan.

The Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority operates land-based casinos in seven locations including Dakota Dunes Resort & Casino on Whitecap Dakota First Nation near Saskatoon, the Northern Lights Casino on the Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation in Prince Albert, Gold Eagle Casino on the Mosquito First Nation in North Battleford, Living Sky Casino on the Nekaneet First Nation in Swift Current, the Painted Hand Casino on the Kahkewistahaw First Nation in Yorkton, the Bear Claw Casino on the White Bear First Nation near Carlyle and Gold Horse Casino on Little Pine Cree Nation in Lloydminster.

The British Columbia Lottery Corporation, which first launched PlayNo.com, was established in 1985 and it is a government-owned company. It has 890 direct employees, while Its service providers employ an additional 8,300 people in the province.
